MY STORY

Born in Shanghai, China and raised in Ontario, Canada, I’ve attended 11 different schools growing up across 4 different cities. I took my first plane at age 6, my first flight alone at age 10, and have since visited 9 countries around the globe. Aside from learning to pack efficiently and appreciating tools for connectivity, I’ve also learned to thrive in ambiguity and change through empathy.

Since founding my first ecommerce bakery business at age 16, I’ve been mesmerized by the potential of business and technology. To understand more, I cofounded a nonprofit dedicated to helping student start startups, sold my first business, and attended Queen’s University for commerce. During undergrad, I learned from numerous incredible minds and built and tested products, assumptions, and campaigns in the classroom, at top tech startups including Ritual, Airbnb, and 500px, hackathons, and personal projects.

I am ever curious about the human experience and what impacts technology and business will have on efficiency, connectivity, and humanity. I’m a calculated risk-taker who believes that failure is better than mediocre, because after all, life is short… why not?
